Condition
Very decorative. Lid broken and held in place by metal fitting which has been drilled through the top. There is an old repair with staples running through the main body. There are isolated losses of enamel. There are some chips to the gilt gesso base. This lamp should be rewired by an electrician. The shade is pretty but would benefit from a clean.
